PrintPolaris Financial Technology Ltd, a global company specializing in solutions for core banking, corporate banking and wealth and asset management, has upgraded its campus and data center network with new switching infrastructure from Brocade. The solution is expected to support increased developer productivity with improved performance, greater security while delivering a 30 percent lower total cost-of-ownership.
“We work in an environment which is highly critical, real-time and runs 24X7X365, this makes our network even more vital and spurred the need for a revamp of our campus and data center networks,” said Mr. Shashi Mohan, CIO & CTO, Polaris. “The solution proposed by Brocade answered our need for increased performance and security while offering greater scalability, flexibility and a 30 percent better total cost-of-ownership compared to the present system.”
Brocade FastIron SX Series switches have been deployed to form a scalable, secure, low-latency, and fault-tolerant 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) IP core. The high port-density and high-capacity backplane of the FastIron SX 1600s enables Polaris Software to dispense with a conventional aggregation switching layer, connecting access switches that support 5,000 staff and 400 servers directly to the switching core.
Within the Polaris data center FastIron SX 800s have been deployed to handle physical and virtual server access while Brocade's FCX Series and FWS Series switches connect workstation and IP phones. The FCX Series supports 10GbE uplinks to the core network and up to 48 GbE Power-over-Ethernet access ports per switch while the FWS Series provide 1GbE uplinks and 48 GbE Power-over-Ethernet access ports per switch.

Geography appears to play a role in frequency of observed attacks on specific ports. For example, Port 23 (Telnet) is a favorite target for attacks observed to be originating from South Korea and Turkey, where it accounted for more than five times the number of attacks targeting the next most popular port (445 in both countries). Other instances of geography-based port targeting include observed attacks centered on Port 1433 (Microsoft SQL Server) in China and on Port 80 (WWW/HTTP) in Indonesia.
